Qin Xiang slept until the middle of the night, and suddenly realized that the person beside him was gone. She rubbed her eyes and woke up.

Although there were slaves in the house, she was not used to being served by her side. After pushing the door, I asked the mother-in-law who was guarding the door.

The woman replied, "The slave and maid don't know where the general has gone, but they only say that they want to go out." ”

It's so late, where are you going?

Qin Xiang went out in his clothes, and a thunderbolt swept across the sky, lighting up the night sky.

She was startled by the lightning that caught her off guard, and when she came back to her senses, she saw a person standing at the door. It was dark all around, and this man didn't know where he was hit. Before she could scream, he spoke, "What's wrong?" ”

"You're going to scare me to death." Qin Xiang said angrily, she tugged at her cloak and asked, "It's so late, where have you been?" ”

Han Yunxiao glanced at his mother-in-law, and walked into the house with Qin Xiang's shoulder.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and felt stuffy, so I went out for a walk."

Qin Xiang felt that his expression was different, so he didn't ask. When he arrived in the inner room, his face condensed: "What's wrong?" ”

"Just now the prince came to the house and said ......" and relayed what the prince had said.

Qin Xiang's brows furrowed when he heard this, "I knew that the capital was so dangerous, I shouldn't have come in the first place." ”

Their family lives well in Fucheng, and they haven't seen anyone beaten or killed. But since arriving in Xijing, all kinds of threats have followed.

Han Yunxiao held her shoulder and gently took the person into his arms, "Your Majesty is seriously suspicious, even if we don't come to Xijing, he has never given up looking for me." What's more, if I don't come out of Sidi's invasion this time, there will be no one available in the DPRK and China. ”

Qin Xiang doesn't understand politics, but he can also feel the grim situation from Han Yunxiao's conversations with several subordinates.

The emperor appointed his relatives and lowered military spending year after year. The power of military attachés was greatly curtailed, and civilian officials took advantage of the situation. In the court, every day is a useless person who advocates the virtue of the emperor. And a person of insight will not enter the court at all.

The emperor not only reduced military spending, but also dealt a ruthless hand to several generals to prevent their power from growing.

In the past five or six years, there have often been generals who have died of injuries and illnesses. At first glance, it seems nothing, after all, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and it doesn't seem to be a rare thing to have a root cause of disease.

But once you investigate carefully, you will find that these generals are all meritorious people who hold military power.

Because of the long interval, it didn't attract the attention of those who cared. Besides, the DPRK and China are made big by civilian officials, who will care about the life and death of military generals.

Qin Xiang thought about this matter again at this moment, and couldn't help but feel palpitations. The shuddering feeling followed her, making her clench Han Yunxiao's hands.

"Don't be afraid." Han Yunxiao stroked her back and said softly, "It's going to be fine." The old emperor was seriously suspicious, but there was no one available in the court, and he still counted on me to protect the prince's peace. ”

What he didn't say was that the emperor really wouldn't want his life now. As the prince guessed, there were many means in the palace, and the emperor had now established a forbidden department, and maybe one day chronic poison would appear in his diet.

No matter how powerful the lady is, she is also a delicate woman. Don't let her know about these cruel methods.

Qin Xiang was also thinking in his heart that the old emperor wanted Han Yunxiao's life, and he would definitely not give up. He now needs Han Yunxiao to become the protection and umbrella of the crown prince, but he will not let Han Yunxiao's military power threaten the prince's position. Since this is the case, he will definitely find a way to hold Han Yunxiao in check.

This night, the husband and wife hugged each other tightly until dawn, but neither of them slept.

Early the next morning, Han Yunxiao went to the barracks outside the city.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he received a new identity - Marquis Wu.

It is a status symbol of the emperor's commendation, but for the husband and wife, it is not as refreshing as real money. Han Yunxiao is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he doesn't care whether he is a general or a soldier. And once he was rewarded by the emperor, it meant that he had more to do with the royal family.

"Bear with me." When Qin Xiang arranged his collar, he smiled and said, "It's still a good prince." If you teach him with your heart, maybe he will have a wise ruler in the future. ”

Because of something on his mind, Qin Xiang did not stay in the study as usual, but went to the street.

Passing by the water side, the footsteps involuntarily walked towards the shop.

"The owner?" When the shopkeeper saw Qin Xiang, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face. "Why are you free to come here today?"

"The owner?" Xiaoyu was also surprised.

Xiaoyu can't be on his own now, so he has to study hard. This Huang shopkeeper is very shrewd, and his wrists are the main reason why Qin Xiang chose her.

"I happened to be passing by, so I came in and had a look. How's it going, how have you been learning these days? ”

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "The shopkeeper has been patiently teaching me, and I haven't fallen behind in my daily homework." The proprietor came just in time, and the goods sent from Fucheng were piled up at the back door. Why don't you come over and give us ideas? ”

Qin Xiang suddenly realized that the summer celebration she was going to hold was gradually underway.

She wants to make 'Xiang' and 'On the Water Side' very different brands, and this is the first step.

Influenced by the night market culture, I came up with the idea of holding a summer festival.

In ancient times, there was little entertainment at night, so some shops closed early. Qin Xiang wanted to rent a nearby street at a low price and only use it at night.

When the time comes, arranging some stalls and making some lively things will not make much money, but it will also be a good means of publicity.

Night markets are the best place to sell some snacks.

Qin Xiang already had a hundred kinds of snacks in his mind, and he couldn't wait to show it.

It's a pity that she was too busy when she went to Fucheng, and she forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

After instructing him on how to place the goods in the shop, Qin Xiang went to eat chicken.

It's not yet time for the shops to open, and the back kitchen is busy preparing ingredients.

After Lin Qingmiao heard about Qin Xiang's intention, he felt that this move was feasible.

"In the summer, it's hot, and I can't sleep at night, so I often toss and turn in bed. It's also a good idea to have a place to pass the time and wait until it's cool before going home to rest. She said, giving a few more examples. Just like the flower street and willow lane in the city, the business is the best in the summer night. Because many buildings with a higher level will provide guests with ice drinks, ice basins and other services.

"Just to make snacks, you have to recruit people, which is too troublesome." That's what worries her the most.

"It's better for the proprietor to make all the food semi-finished products and simply teach some cooking methods, such as nibbling on chicken, without too complicated training process."

Lin Qingmiao's suggestion made Qin Xiang feel very suitable, and decided to study it well after he went back.

"That's right," Lin Qingmiao thought about it and said, "In the past few days, there are often customers coming to the shop, picking and choosing from our chickens. And I heard Xiao Er say that they often mention the owner and the general in their words. ”

Qin Xiang's brows furrowed, thinking of those noble ladies who had nothing to do.

"Don't pay attention to it, everyone who comes is a guest, just entertain."

The business experience in her head completely occupied all of Qin Xiang's thoughts, so that she didn't have time to think about those troubles.

But she doesn't want to, but that doesn't mean that some things won't come to her door.

As soon as he turned the corner, he was caught off guard and crashed into the passer.

"Ahh ”

It wasn't clear whether she was intentional or not, but Qin Xiang was sure that the other party must have meant it.

Let's just talk about this road, and the four of them will not feel crowded when they go hand in hand. Besides, she was thinking all the way, and she didn't walk fast, and our young lady was hit by someone, and it was as if half of her life was knocked away?

Qin Xiang didn't want to fight with the other party, so he apologized and left with someone.

After walking a long way, Chen Wuliu said, "That woman should be the tenth princess." ”

"I'll just say that the other party absolutely did it on purpose."

She didn't look carefully just now, but vaguely remembered that it was a girl wearing peach pink. If you want to talk about appearance, it's not beautiful. And the other party's eyes made her really dislike......

But if she is in a hurry to be a junior, she won't give her a good face.

Maybe the tenth princess still thinks that she didn't appear at the right time and robbed her husband. For some iron-clad logic, Qin Xiang has always been difficult to understand.

Qin Xiang didn't know that the sentence she guessed at random was really expected for her.

The tenth princess stared at Qin Xiang's back for a long time, knowing that she couldn't see clearly anymore, before she withdrew her gaze.

She didn't expect that the woman who had had several relationships with her was actually the rumored Qin family, the woman who looked like no salt.

Empress Jiang's appearance is not beautiful, demure and redundant. And the tenth princess herself is more similar to the old emperor, and her appearance can only be said to be more than delicate, which is not outstanding. However, there are palace maids who are good at makeup and hair by her side, and the appearance of the tenth princess has increased from five to seven.

But just facing Qin Xiang, the other party only put on a thin layer of fat powder, and even a lip grease was useless, just like a fairy in a painting. If Han Yunxiao's wife is ugly, the tenth princess still has a few chances of winning.

But...... That Qin clan is really too beautiful.

Men are all lustful, that is, she is talented, but her appearance can't get into their eyes, so what's the use.

No wonder she went to the Han Mansion several times, but she didn't see him have a good face, it turned out that she was not as beautiful as his wife. As soon as she thought of this, the tenth princess couldn't wait for someone to scratch Qin Xiang's face to see how arrogant she was.

"Princess......" The new little palace maid looked flattering, "I heard that Cuiyuxuan has a new batch of jewelry today, and the slave maid will accompany you to take a look?" ”

The tenth princess lifted her eyelids, glanced at her lightly, and said nothing.

This little palace maid is still in use, her mouth is sweet, but she has no eyes, and she is far worse than Xiaoqian. It's a pity that Xiaoqian's girl is not doing well and has been sent to the torture room. I hope she can get through, or she'll have one less capable minion by her side.

"No, go back to the palace."

The little palace maid didn't know why, so she hurriedly followed. She had heard that the tenth princess had a cloudy personality, but she had a sweet mouth and would please people, and she had never seen the princess lose her temper since she went to Cuiyang Palace. But it was fine just now, why is this suddenly not pleasant?

The fact that the tenth princess saw Qin Xiang outside the palace made her feel very unhappy. After returning to the palace, he went to Empress Jiang's Fengyi Palace.

"Who upset you again?"

"The Queen Mother." She said coquettishly: "When will my father give a decree to give marriage?" ”

"What? Can't wait? ”
